How did the Roman de toute chevalerie influence the Middle English romance King Alisaunder?

The Roman de toute chevalerie, written by the Anglo-Norman poet Thomas of Kent toward the end of the 12th century, served as the direct source for the Middle English romance King Alisaunder.12

Around 1275, the Roman de toute chevalerie was remodeled to create the Middle English version. As an independent version of the Alexander romance, Thomas of Kent’s work provided the narrative foundation and structure that the later Middle English poem adapted for its audience. This process of adaptation was part of a broader trend in medieval England, where many French romances were translated or freely adapted into English verse and prose between the late 13th and 15th centuries.123
